Letter: Why penalize hybrid owners?

As of July 1, anyone with a hybrid or electric car has to pay another $64 for their license every year. I thought we were supposed to be help save the environment by buying them to save on fuel consumption. They do get good fuel mileage, but why penalize people for buying them?

You are already paying more for the hybrid car and also paying more in taxes when you purchase the vehicle. What about the non-hybrid cars that get high gas mileage? Why aren't they going to pay more for their licenses? Why penalize the ones that are hybrid or electric?

Is Virginia that hard up for money?
